sphinx-tudelft-theme 0.2.1

A custom Sphinx extension to apply TU Delft styling to a TeachBook

Sphinx extension: TU Delft theme

Introduction

The default theme in JupyterBooks is usually not desired and need to be changed by adding custom stylesheets. The Sphinx-TUDelft-theme extension provides a simple solution to have a uniform theme across all the books created at Delft University of Technology that matches the TU Delft identity.

What does it do?

This extension applies styling changes, e.g. using specific fonts, and adding particular colours for admonitions. You can see how the TU Delft theme looks like applied in this example book.

Unless specified otherwise, see Usage, this extension also automatically sets:

• a Delft University of Technology logo;
• a Delft University of Technology favicon;
• the Delft University of Technology preferred fonts;
• rendering text inside MathJax as the surrounding text;
• an always visible logo (i.e. a sticky logo).

Installation

To implement the TU Delft theme, follow these steps:

Step 1: Install the Package

Install the sphinx-tudelft-theme package using pip:

pip install sphinx-tudelft-theme

Step 2: Add to requirements.txt

Make sure that the package is included in your project's requirements.txt to track the dependency:

Step 3: Enable in _config.yml

sphinx: 
    extra_extensions:
        - sphinx_tudelft_theme
